Distraction in thoughts to choose BA or PM

My mind fought with it by thinking whether to start a career as a Business analyst or as a Project manager. The truth is that in any project, business analyst and project manager are the two key roles. Even though both of them share the responsibilities the difference lies in accountability.

BA is mainly responsible for the product scope of any project which is defined precisely, whereas PM is accountable for completion of the project with th100% success. However, the experts have a strong opinion that, a project can be executed successfully even without a BA but not without a project manager.

There is a very simple difference between a business analyst and a project manager is BA is always focused on content of the project, whereas PM is always focused on process. BA is more responsible to narrate the content perspective and the required quality. Project manager will be more concerned towards the budget and the timeline. To complete the project on time with the quality both the business analyst and project manager must cop up to each other.
